A California woman who staged a protest inside the Republican National Convention last September while President Bush was speaking went on trial Tuesday on charges of kicking and injuring a security official.

June Brashares, 40, of San Francisco, is on trial in Manhattan's Criminal Court charged with misdemeanor assault, attempted assault, disorderly conduct and harassment in connection with the incident on Sept. 2, 2004.

"Ms. Brashares kicked the two men as they were removing her from the hall," Troy told the jury in opening statements. She said a kick opened a wound in Flanagan's leg, causing profuse bleeding. Flanagan was treated at Bellevue Hospital and released.

Troy also told the jury that Brashares, who had entered convention hall with a legitimate floor pass, was not on trial for her political beliefs. "This case is not about politics," she said. "It's about disorderly conduct."

And what of the College Republican who kicked another protestor when she was on the ground? The crickets are deafening.
